Any nylon/plastic/polymer part needs to be replaced periodically if it is in
contact with fuels or high VOC liquids/vapors.  I pulled mine when I did the
first fuel line change on my van right after I got it.  I try to only use
brass fittings anywhere in the fuel system.  There is some discussion of
this in the groups that have plastic tanks as well.
